Hey, anyone planning a ride for Saturday outside of the 9:00am start from Cyclist Connection in Canal Winchester? Got nothing against the Canal ride but if I don't see Cedar Hill or Amanda Northern roads for a month or two that would be ok. Saw Saturday's ride is to Amanda and back for 45 miles. I tried to recruit Flyin Tuna to lead a Saturday ride but because she is fighting the grunge with antibiotics, she did not want to commit. Anyone else?My father, at 92, fell about two months ago and spent time in the hospital. Doctors have no idea what was the cause as the aftermath of it left him with no leg strength but a stroke was ruled out as the cause. Some of you were aware of this so wanted to bring you up to date. He is making progress and going through therapy at a nursing home. It appears he may be able to return home in a few weeks if he continues to make progress. All of my relatives on both sides of my parents lived in to their 90's and 100's so with luck, I'll be creating content for this blog for another 40+ years! Think about that! Over 300 unique visitors have visited the blog for each of the last 7 days so I'm feeling pressure to provide content. One of you created a program to ping the blog on one day and I had around 1000 hits that day but that assualt had no impact on the unique visitor totals. Well, headed to AZ early on Friday for a week. Our son loves this break from us and I love the break from Ohio weather although it doesn't look too bad next week. My goals are to climb Kitts Peak, a fairly steep and long (6 miles or so) climb, try to do Gates Pass and do Mt. Lemmon. Ted M assures me there is an eatery at the top that serves great food. The Little Woman has a half marathon this Saturday in Mesa and then may do another the following weekend in Tucson. As an accountant, she crams all her vacation time in this time of the year. I'll have images and reports all next week for my loyal readers who need their work day broken up by a visit to the goofy blog.
